The police officer who shot and killed a man on the Southwest Side Sunday afternoon was not equipped with a body-worn camera, according to the preliminary investigation from the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.
Departmental rules — and a federal consent decree — require Chicago Police officers to have and use the cameras as a guard against misconduct and false allegations.
In August 2020, a Chicago Police officer who did not have a body-worn camera shot a 20-year-old man they said had a gun. That shooting touched off a wave of looting that swept the city.it was “highly, highly problematic” that the officer did not have a camera and that “we can’t have people out on the street interfacing with the public without body cameras.”
“We’ve significantly increased the purchase of those body-worn cameras, so we’ve got to make sure that everybody who is out there on the street and certainly interacting with the public has a body-worn camera,” Lightfoot said Monday. After officers confronted a man armed with a gun, the man barricaded himself inside a home and fired shots at police, officials said.
